Mercat de la Boqueria

This market hardly needs an introduction; La Boqueria has been chosen again and again, in all kinds of surveys, as the best market in the world. The place itself is a thing of beauty, and its bars serve the best breakfast in town (go very early in the morning, like 7 a.m., to get a place at the counter of Pinocho). But it’s best avoided between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., when the crowds of tourists are unbearable.
